> The optimizer rule {{org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.optimizer.ReorderJoin}} 
> performs join reordering on inner joins. This was introduced from SPARK-12032 
> in 2015-12.
> After it had reordered the joins, though, it didn't check whether or not the 
> column order (in terms of the {{output}} attribute list) is still the same as 
> before. Thus, it's possible to have a mismatch between the reordered column 
> order vs the schema that a DataFrame thinks it has.
> This can be demonstrated with the example:
> {code:none}
> spark.sql("create table table_a (x int, y int) using parquet")
> spark.sql("create table table_b (i int, j int) using parquet")
> spark.sql("create table table_c (a int, b int) using parquet")
> val df = spark.sql("with df1 as (select * from table_a cross join table_b) 
> select * from df1 join table_c on a = x and b = i")
> {code}
> here's what the DataFrame thinks:
> {code:none}
> scala> df.printSchema
> root
>  |-- x: integer (nullable = true)
>  |-- y: integer (nullable = true)
>  |-- i: integer (nullable = true)
>  |-- j: integer (nullable = true)
>  |-- a: integer (nullable = true)
>  |-- b: integer (nullable = true)
> {code}
> here's what the optimized plan thinks, after join reordering:
> {code:none}
> scala> df.queryExecution.optimizedPlan.output.foreach(a => println(s"|-- 
> ${a.name}: ${a.dataType.typeName}"))
> |-- x: integer
> |-- y: integer
> |-- a: integer
> |-- b: integer
> |-- i: integer
> |-- j: integer
> {code}
> If we exclude the {{ReorderJoin}} rule (using Spark 2.4's optimizer rule 
> exclusion feature), it's back to normal:
> {code:none}
> scala> spark.conf.set("spark.sql.optimizer.excludedRules", 
> "org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.optimizer.ReorderJoin")
> scala> val df = spark.sql("with df1 as (select * from table_a cross join 
> table_b) select * from df1 join table_c on a = x and b = i")
> df: org.apache.spark.sql.DataFrame = [x: int, y: int ... 4 more fields]
> scala> df.queryExecution.optimizedPlan.output.foreach(a => println(s"|-- 
> ${a.name}: ${a.dataType.typeName}"))
> |-- x: integer
> |-- y: integer
> |-- i: integer
> |-- j: integer
> |-- a: integer
> |-- b: integer
> {code}
> Note that this column ordering problem leads to data corruption, and can 
> manifest itself in various symptoms:
> * Silently corrupting data, if the reordered columns happen to either have 
> matching types or have sufficiently-compatible types (e.g. all fixed length 
> primitive types are considered as "sufficiently compatible" in an UnsafeRow), 
> then only the resulting data is going to be wrong but it might not trigger 
> any alarms immediately. Or
> * Weird Java-level exceptions like {{java.lang.NegativeArraySizeException}}, 
> or even SIGSEGVs.
